Seeing as I have been forced to post nothing but stupid images, due to lack of time, I have chosen them with great care. This one refers to one of my favourite pints. It is rapaciously un-PC which is why I love it.

I stole this from Old Holborn

Dr Vivienne Nathanson, the head of BMA science and ethics, said: "The BMA is not
anti-alcohol. As doctors our focus is to ensure that individuals drink sensibly so they do not put their health and lives in danger."

For which there is no more succinct reply that to quote from the Daily Mash:

Emma Bishop, a marketing executive from Twickenham, added: "How's about this? As an adult, I think a reasonable daily limit is me drinking as much as I fucking want.

"If it affects my work I'll get sacked. If it affects my relationships I'll be all lonely and sad.

"And as for my health, following a quick glance at my tax bill I've decided that the NHS will treat me and the government can keep its fucking opinions to itself."

With regards to this story over at Old Holdborn, highly recommended reading.

Alcohol and Drinking WTF?

In 1960 France had 200,000 cafes selling wine, beer and spirits alongside coffee, tea and soft drinks, today there are fewer than 41,000.

In Britain 50 pubs are closing a week.

What the fuck are politicians doing, do they want a fucking civil war on their hands. You think that wont happen? Well remember 1773 and the Boston Tea Party, it was a protest against British tax on tea. They dumped all the fucking tea in the Boston Harbour as a result. But what is more it is perceived as being the spark for the American Revolution. See what happens when you tax the shit out things that taste nice?

We currently have 33% tax on beer.
We have a smoking ban.
We have god knows how much red tape (you have to apply for a bleeding license if you intend to have live music in your goddamn pub. How big do politicians think pubs are?!).

Wankers...
